ASM International NV ASMXF

Company Overview

ASM International N.V. (traded in the U.S. as ASMIY) is a Netherlands‑based semiconductor equipment manufacturer focused on wafer fabrication technologies used in advanced integrated circuit production. The company operates within the global semiconductor capital equipment industry, supplying process tools primarily to logic and foundry customers as well as memory manufacturers. Its core competence is in thin‑film deposition, where it is widely recognized for leadership in atomic layer deposition (ALD) technologies.

The company’s primary revenue is generated from the sale of front‑end wafer processing equipment, supported by recurring service and spares revenue. ASM International is strategically positioned as a technology leader in enabling advanced semiconductor nodes, particularly for applications requiring precise material control. Founded in 1968 by Arthur del Prado, the company has evolved from a diversified semiconductor equipment supplier into a focused front‑end specialist following the separation of its back‑end operations into what is now ASM Pacific Technology Ltd.
